THE  HACKLEY  ART  GALLERY 


Muskegon  is  already  famous  throughout  the 
country  for  her  educational  institutions.  It 
possesses,  without  dispute,  educational  advan- 
tages second  to  no  city  of  its  size  in  the  country.  It  has  an 
excellent  public  school  system  in  which  not  only  are  the 
common  branches  of  learning  taught  with  efficiency  and 
thoroughness,  but  special  attention  is  also  paid  to  the 
higher  and  more  aesthetic  lines  of  study.  Possessing  special 
instruction  in  art  in  manual  training,  which  is  but  applied 
art,  it  implants  and  develops  a sense  of  the  beautiful  and 
carries  the  student  gradually  from  the  early  childish  concep- 
tion of  art  to  a higher  realization  of  the  true  meaning  of  the 
art  of  living.  There  is  now  established  an  art  gallery  with 
a comprehensive  collection  of  universal  art  which  tends  to 
develop  further  their  knowledge  and  skill.  All  of  this  has 
been  made  possible  by  the  public  spirit  manifested  by  the 
late  Charles  H.  Hackley,  to  whom  we  owe  so  much.

THE  ART  OF  LIVING 


There  is,  in  course  of  evolution  throughout  the 
world,  a clearer  understanding  of  what  constitutes 
the  ideal  way  of  living.  The  day  is  coming 
when  art  shall  permeate  and  regulate  our  entire  life,  our 
every  action,  when  the  art  of  living  shall  be  understood,  not 
by  the  privileged  few,  but  by  all — when  conditions  shall  no 
longer  create  selfishness,  the  direct  cause  of  all  crime  and 
ugliness  — when  we  shall  labor,  not  merely  to  become 
wealthier  than  our  neighbors,  but  to  help  our  neighbors, 
thereby  transforming  labor  into  pleasure  and  all  objects  and 
events  of  our  daily  life  into  works  of  art. 

This  is  not  a wild  propheey,  for  there  are  tens  of  thou- 
sands working  unselfishly  in  the  field  of  humanity.  Among 
these  are  scientists  and  doctors  throughout  the  world,  devot- 
ing their  lives  to  this  ideal  end  and  making  experiments 
which  often  eulminate  in  the  contraction  of  terrible  diseases. 
They  are  not  working  for  monetary  gain,  neither  do  they 
seek  for  publie  applause.  They  are  giving,  not  reeeiving, 
in  the  ordinary  sense,  yet  the  satisfaetion  of  bringing  joy 
and  happiness  to  others  is  the  only  perfect  gift. 


XIV 


THE  ART  OF  LIVING 


Art  is  Life’s  lubricant,  eliminating  the  harshness  and 
beautifying  everything. 

When  we  understand  what  really  constitutes  the  joy  of 
living,  then  living  will  become  an  art;  for  art  can  be  in 
everything — in  the  way  we  talk  and  in  the  way  we  walk,  in 
our  every  act.  Restraint,  the  significant  trait  of  a well-bred 
person,  the  modulated  voice,  and  the  faculty  for  doing  the 
right  thing  gracefully,  are  certainly  arts  in  the  highest  sense. 

In  Europe  the  art  of  living  has  not  developed  so  much 
in  the  cities  as  in  the  country.  In  spite  of  the  fact  that 
facilities  for  acquiring  knowledge  are  so  much  greater  in  the 
large  towns,  through  the  presence  of  public  galleries  and  art 
schools,  social  life  has  reached  a more  perfect  development 
in  the  country.  This  is  especially  true  of  Britain.  In  the 
sixteenth  and  seventeenth  centuries  English  country  homes, 
often  architecturally  beautiful,  contained  little  art  within, 
and  even  less  without,  as  far  as  the  grounds  were  concerned. 

By  the  beginning  of  the  eighteenth  century  these  condi- 
tions were  changed.  This  was  due  to  the  prosperity  of  the 
country  which  was  brought  about  by  an  improved  system  ot 
agriculture  introduced  into  England  in  the  early  part  of  the 
eighteenth  century.  The  country  squires  and  large  land 
owners  became  wealthy  and  spent  their  money  on  improv- 
ing their  estates.  Works  of  art  were  imported  from  Holland 
and  Italy,  and  placed  on  their  walls. 

The  demand  for  portraits  created  an  important  group  of 
portrait  painters,  namely:  Reynolds,  Gainsborough,  Rae- 


XV 


THE  ART  OF  LIVING 


burn,  Hoppner,  Romney,  and  Lawrence;  and,  later  still, 
the  demand  for  art  produced  Turner,  Constable,  Bonington, 
and  Morland.  English  landscape  gardening,  an  art  never 
adequately  appreciated,  arose  in  response  to  the  desire 
for  a more  satisfying  environment.  This  was  merely  a 
repetition  of  what  has  often  happened  in  the  history  of  art. 
In  Holland,  in  the  seventeenth  century,  one  of  the  greatest 
art  periods  of  the  world  followed  commercial  prosperity. 

In  north  Britain  we  find  another  example.  Edinburgh 
was  always  considered  in  Scotland  the  seat  of  art  and  learn- 
ing. In  trade  and  commerce,  in  all  that  made  for  business 
supremacy,  Glasgow  led.  The  capital  was  willing  to  con- 
cede this  honor  to  Glasgow  providing  that  she  retain  the 
title  of  the  intellectual  center.  Just  what  do  we  find? 
With  the  increased  prosperity  of  the  last  twenty  years,  one 
of  the  strongest  groups  of  artists  which  Great  Britain  has 
produced  has  arisen  in  Glasgow;  and  now,  not  only  has 
Edinburgh,  one  of  the  most  beautiful  cities  in  the  world, 
been  superceded  artistically  by  Glasgow,,  but  educationally 
as  well. 

In  America  we  find  ourselves  exceptionally  fortunate. 
We  have  not  only  the  capacity  for  appreciating  the  best  in 
everything  and  the  money  to  secure  this  best,  but  we  are 
producing  the  best  also,  not  in  the  creation  of  a national  art 
alone,  but  an  international  art,  which  is  more  important.  We 
have  such  men  as  William  K.  Bixby,  William  T.  Evans, 
C.  L.  Freer,  Charles  L.  Hutchinson,  Edward  Drummond

THE  ART  OF  LIVING 


Libbey  and  Martin  A.  Ryerson,  who  are  pointing  the  way 
and  spending  their  money  and  devoting  their  time  and  energy 
to  the  great  cause.  No  country  in  the  history  of  art  has 
made  the  progress  of  America,  both  in  active  appreciation 
and  in  production. 

In  America  the  art  of  living  is  naturally  developing  first 
in  the  cities.  The  plans  of  many  of  our  cities  are  examples 
to  Europe.  We  have  parks,  opera  houses,  and  streets, 
planned  with  an  eye  to  the  beautiful;  and  art  galleries, 
art  schools,  artists,  and  lectures  to  train  the  public  to  appre- 
ciate them.  It  is  in  the  air ; the  past  is  admirable,  the  pres- 
ent is  assured,  a brilliant  future  without  parallel  is  certain.

RALPH  A.  BLAKELOCK 

Bom  at  New  York,  1847.  Self-taught.  An  original  painter 
of  the  landscape,  with  a remarkable  color  sense,  who  strug- 
gled years  for  recognition,  and  eventually,  because  of  the 
hardships  and  privations  he  endured,  was  incapacitated  for 
work  of  any  kind.  Since  his  unfortunate  withdrawal  from 
the  world,  and  since  an  exhibition  of  his  work  in  1902  in 
New  York,  public  appreciation  has  been  more  just.  He  is 
now  considered  among  the  leading  men  of  the  tonal  school, 
his  pictures  being  in  many  famous  collections.  He  is  still 
living,  although  in  strict  confinement.

Karl  von  Piloty.  His  influence  as  an  instructor  is  the  most 
far-reaching  of  any  artist  in  America  and  probably  of  any 
country,  and  his  traveling  classes  abroad  are  a feature  in  the 
progress  of  American  art.  He  is  one  of  the  foremost  land-

Charles  Gabriel  Gleyre,  where  Degas,  Bracquemond,  and 
Fantin-Latour  were  his  favorite  companions.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  Societe  Nationale  des  Artistes  Francais;  hon- 
orary member  of  the  Royal  Academy  of  St.  Luke,  Rome; 
Commander  of  the  Order  of  the  Crown  of  Italy ; honorary 
member  of  the  Royal  Academy,  Bavaria;  chevalier  of  the 
order  of  St.  Michael;  and  honorary  member  of  the  Royal 
Academy,  Dresden;  but  most  unjustly,  he  was  never  elected 
to  the  Royal  Academy  of  London.  It  was  reserved  for  the 
French  to  first  recognize  his  unusual  ability,  and  that  gov- 
ernment subsequently  purchased  his  masterpiece,  a portrait 
of  his  mother,  for  the  Luxembourg  Museum.  In  London, 
he  painted  many  distinguished  men  and  women  and  made 
composition  pictures  of  the  highest  order,  which  today  com- 
mand almost  fabulous  prices.  As  an  etcher,  he  was  the 
greatest  since  Rembrant,  having  been  equalled  by  no  one  of 
his  generation.  He  was  the  inspiration  of  what  is  known  as 
the  Glasgow  school  of  painters,  and  no  man  has  had  such  a 
widespread  influence  on  his  contemporaries.

CARAVAGGIO 

Michael  Angelo  Amerighi,  called  Caravaggio,  (1569-1609), 
was  born  in  a village  near  Milan.  He  received  no  training, 
and  was  uninfluenced  by  the  academical  Caraccis.  He 
painted  what  was  before  his  eyes,  even  the  common  objects, 
fruits  and  vegetables,  still  life,  and  eountry  people.  His 
color  was  often  violent,  but  he  always  painted  with  sincerity. 
I^ater  he  painted  saered  pietures  but  in  such  an  unconven- 
tional way  as  to  provoke  the  anger  of  the  church.  He  came 
when  an  innovation  was  most  needed,  and  his  originality 
and  avoidance  of  affectation  influenced  many  of  his  eontem- 
porary  painters,  produeing  the  Spaniard  Ribera,  and  influ- 
encing Velasquez  and  many  others.

and  Victor  Bertin.  Visited  Italy  in  1826,  and  on  his  return 
from  his  first  tour  he  brought  those  admirable  studies  which 
established  him  as  one  of  the  pathfinders  in  the  development 
of  the  modern  French  school  of  landscape  art.  Corot  was 
gifted  with  a highly  poetical  temperament  and  rendered  in

PIERRE  AUGUSTE  RENOIR 

Born  at  Limoges,  France.  Working  first  in  a porcelain 
factory  at  Limoges,  he  added  to  his  income  by  making  dec- 
orations for  cafes  until  he  obtained  money  enough  to  take 
him  to  Paris  to  study.  There  he  entered  the  studio  of 
Gleyre,  along  with  Sisley,  remaining  four  years.  His  pic- 
ture of  “The  Woman  in  White”  at  the  Salon  of  1868 
aroused  hostility  and  he  was  not  admitted  again  until  1880. 
A follower  and  friend  of  Monet,  and  one  of  the  most  notable 
of  the  group  of  Impressionists.  Knight  of  the  Legion  of

SIR  MARTIN  SHEE,  P.  R.  A. 

Born  at  Dublin,  1769;  died  at  Brighton,  1850.  He  came 
from  an  old  Irish  family,  and  it  was  Burke  who  introduced 
him  when  he  came  from  Dublin  to  London,  in  1789,  to 
Reynolds.  His  own  suavity  and  good  manners  were  even 
better  introductions  to  the  portrait  painter’s  “clientele”  and 
he  soon  met  with  distinguished  patrons.  In  1789  he  was 
elected  an  Associate  of  the  Royal  Academy;  in  1800  he 
became  a Royal  Academician,  and,  upon  the  death  of  Sir 
Thomas  Lawrence,  in  1830,  he  was  elected  to  the  presidency 
of  the  Royal  Academy.

CONSTANT  TROYON 

Born  at  Se\Tes,  1810;  died  in  Paris,  1865.  Pupil  of 
Riocreux  and  Poupart,  and  influenced  by  Roqueplan  to 
study  nature,  for  which  he  showed  an  individual  feeling  in 
his  first  exhibited  works,  1836.  A visit  to  Holland  revealed 
to  Troyon  his  true  mission,  that  of  an  animal  painter.  His 
great  technical  skill  and  resources  as  a colorist  and  other 
rare  endowments  enabled  him  to  grapple  with  all  the  vary- 
ing moods  and  effects  of  nature,  and  in  this  new  line  of  cat- 
tle and  landscape  painter  he  soon  became  famous.  Received 
medals  and  Legion  of  Honor,  1849.  Member  of  the  Amster- 
dam Academy,  Diploma  to  the  Memory  of  Deceased  Art- 
ists, Exposition  Universalle,  1878.

Dutchman,  Bosboon,  and  he  profited  much  by  his  advice, 
working  for  years  in  a most  minute  manner,  finally  broaden- 
ing out  his  style  and  methods  with  which  the  world  of  col-

landscape  in  its  varying  moods,  and  was  considered  one  of

with  the  Hollanders  than  with  any  other  school  of  landscape

our  collectors,  it  is  said,  are  his  chief  purchasers.  A strong, 
solid  painter,  a man  of  narrow  range,  but  in  his  field  honest, 
sympathetic,  even  profound.

SIR  HENRY  RAEBURN,  R.  A. 

Born  near  Edinburgh,  in  1756;  died,  1823.  The  son  of  a 
prosperous  manufacturer,  Raeburn  never  in  his  life  had  any 
of  the  financial  difficulties  that  beset  so  many  of  his  craft. 
He  was  one  of  the  great  group  of  portraitists  of  the  Georgian 
epoch,  and  was  named  King’s  Limner  for  Scotland,  where 
he  lived  most  of  his  life.  His  portraits  of  Scotland’s  great 
soldiers,  judges,  men  of  affairs,  and  their  womankind,  are 
true  records  of  the  race,  wonderful  presentments,  which 
today  are  justly  considered  among  the  great  paintings  of  all 
time.

THOMAS  GAINSBOROUGH,  R.  A. 

Thomas  Gainsborough  was  born  at  Sudbury,  in  Suffolk,  in 
1727 ; died  at  London,  1788.  At  fourteen  years  of  age  he 
left  Sudbury  for  London,  where  he  studied  under  the 
Frenchman,  Gravelot;  later  with  Ha5^man,  one  of  the  com- 
panions of  Hogarth.  He  remained  in  London  four  years, 
acquiring  much  skill,  and  returned  to  his  father’s  house  a 
confirmed  painter.  In  1701  he  made  his  debut  at  the  Acad- 
emy, and  from  this  time  until  the  close  of  his  life  he  was  a 
regular  contributor  to  the  Academy  exhibitions.  The  com- 
bined grace  and  elegance  of  his  portraits  soon  brought  him 
into  competition  with  Sir  Joshua  Reynolds.

WILLIAM  HOGARTH 

William  Hogarth  was  born  at  London,  1697;  died  there  in 
1764.  He  was  apprenticed  at  an  early  age  to  a silver  plate 
engraver,  and  when  twenty-three  years  old  set  up  in  busi- 
ness on  his  own  account.  Among  other  works  of  the  kind 
he  engraved  twelve  plates  for  Butler’s  “Hudibras.  ” He 
entered  the  school  of  Sir  James  Thornhill,  Sergeant-painter 
to  the  King,  whose  daughter  he  married  in  1729.  The  work 
which  first  established  his  fame  was  the  series  of  the  “Har- 
lot’s Progress,”  which  was  immediately  followed  by  the 
“Rake’s  Progress,”  now  in  the  Soane  Museum.  These 
works  are  similar  in  scope  and  design  to  the  “Marriage  a la 
Mode”  series  purchased  from  the  Angerstein  collection  by 
the  National  Gallery,  London,  1824.  The  engravings  made 
by  Hogarth  from  these  pictures  brought  him  both  money 
and  fame.
